RESIDENTS have just a week to check if they are enrolled for October’s Loddon Shire Council elections.
Property owners who live in other council areas also have until 4pm next Wednesday to apply to be included on the voter rolls.
Victorian Electoral Commission this week said: “The rules for council enrolment have changed. Property owners who don’t live in the council area but may be eligible to vote because they pay rates should contact their local council for further information.”
Non-resident property owners had been automatically added to ward voter rolls before legislation was changed.
VEC commissioner Sven Bluemmel said: “If you’re 18 or over and you live in or pay rates to a Victorian council, enrol and have your say on the future of your local council.”
